Joe Hugill is in line to see action for Manchester United today against Derby County.

United kickoff their preseason programme with an opening friendly against Wayne Rooney's Derby.

Jesse Lingard trained on Friday on his return to the fold, after an extremely successful spell at West Ham United. The England international, who featured in the warm-up games for Euro 2020, played for Derby on loan back in 2015.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could benefit from the 28-year-old's experience as he is likely to name a youthful squad, with the likes of Will Fish, Di'Shon Bernard, Ethan Galbraith and \Hugill among those to spend time in the senior group over the course of the week.

Other youngsters hoping for an opportunity include Matej Kovar, Shola Shoretire, Dylan Levitt, Anthony Elanga and Hannibal, who trained on Friday following his international debut with Tunisia.

Teden Mengi, who spent time with the Rams last term, is joined by other returning loanees such as Andreas Pereira, Facundo Pellistri and James Garner.
